Henry Newbolt Quotes

The sand of the desert is sodden red, --Red with the wreck of a square that broke; --The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead, And the regiment blind with dust and smoke. The river of death has brimmed his banks, And England's far, and Honour a name, But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:'Play up! play up! and play the game!
